Objects

Gas

A table containing data for a gas.

Fields

Name

An internal name for a given gas, PascalCased. For spaces, use HumanReadableName instead.

ID

The internal mask for a given gas, as an integer value.

HumanReadableName

A human-readable name for a given gas.

HumanReadableSymbol

A community-defined symbol for a given gas. This does not necessarily match the symbol used ingame. Liquids have the same symbol as their matching gas.

MolarMass

The molar mass for a given gas in g/mol.

HeatCapacityRatio

The heat capacity ratio fot a given gas. Adiabatics is only currently used in rocket exhaust velocity calculations.

Image

An URI to an image of the gas on this wiki.

State

The gas's state. Can be either Gas or Liquid.

MolarVolume

Volume taken by 1 mol of gas in liters. Only present in Liquids.

SpecificHeat

The gas's specific heat in J/mol*K.

LatentHeat

The gas's phase change latent heat in J/mol.

CondensesInto

The Name of the liquid the gas condenses into during phase change. Only present on Gases capable of condensing into liquids.

EvaporatesInto

The Name of the gas the liquid condenses into during phase change. Only present on Liquids capable of evaporating into gases.

EvaporationRatio

Multiplier for the energy of the gas the liquid evaporates into. Used for liquids that phase change into gases with different heat capacities (Alcohol / Liquid Sodium Chloride).

TriplePressure

The gas's evaporation pressure at its triple point in kPa.

CriticalPressure

The gas's evaporation pressure at its maximum liquid temperature in kPa.

A

Evaporation Coefficient A for the gas.

B

Evaporation Coefficient B for the gas.

FreezingTemperature

Temperature in kelvin at which the gas freezes.

CriticalTemperature

Temperature in kelvin at which the gas can no longer condense regardless of pressure.

Enthalpy

Enthalpy of combustion for the gas in J/mol. 0 for non-fuels.

AutoignitionTemperature

Temperature at which autoignition occurs in Oxygen for fuels(or spontaneously for Hypergols).

IsHypergol

Boolean on whether autoignition can occur without an oxidizer. Only true in the case of Hydrazine and its liquid counterpart.

AutoignitionOffset

How far the oxidizer reduces autoignition temperatures for fuels that combust with it.

EnthalpyMultiplier

Multiplying factor for the fuel's combustion enthalpy when combusting with a fuel. 2 for Nitrous Oxide and Ozone, 1 for everything else.

ThermalEfficiency

The heat-to-energy conversion efficiency for the gas when it's used in a Stirling Engine.
